Onduline has launched a new durable roofing system, DURO SX 35, with advanced noise dampening qualities that make it ideal for auxiliary farm buildings, including those housing livestock.
Guaranteed waterproofing
20-year waterproof guarantee
The modern looking mechanically strong bituminous panels are a solid 3.5mm thick, yet lightweight and virtually-maintenance free with an extended 20-year guarantee.
Perfectly waterproof, DURO SX 35 has a trapeze profile with 38mm corrugations that aid ventilation, and is resistant to even extreme corrosive agents, also to strong blasts of wind.
Noise dampening material
Technical Sales Director Greg Hissey said: “As well as requiring protection from the elements, livestock can be badly unsettled by the loud noise of driving rain and hail pounding on the roof. With today’s increasingly unpredictable extremes of weather, that’s an important consideration.
“DURO SX 35 has been specially developed to deliver higher levels of sound absorption. This gives the animals a greater degree of acoustic comfort, particularly when compared to a metal alternative.”
While most roofing materials allow sound to travel through, Onduline® material absorbs part of it, reducing the amount of noise. The unique composition of Onduline roofing sheets bring superior acoustic protection thanks to their composition and particularly the network of cellulosic fibres.

Fast installation roofing sheets
Aesthetical look of a metal sheet
Easy to transport, handle and install, the 200cm x 82cm panels weigh 3.66kg/m² and can be adapted to many different types of structure, whether that is for renovation projects or new buildings.
Installation is fast and intuitive. It is also easy to cut, shape and fix with just standard tooling.
DURO SX 35 carries the aesthetical look of a metal sheet and is available in a range of stylish colours that will not fade, thanks to advanced coatings technology that gives optimal colour stability.
Eco-friendly roof sheets
Made of 50% to 60% recycled cellulose fibres
Onduline has been manufacturing eco-friendly bituminous corrugated roofing products for more than 70 years and is an ideal partner for the farming sector.
Alongside their many other advantages, Onduline roofing sheets are popular for their thermal insulation qualities and also sit harmoniously in a rural landscape.
The sheets are made of 50% to 60% recycled cellulose fibres, contain no asbestos and do not release any hazardous substances. Independent testing in laboratories has shown they are completely safe for animals and humans.
Greg added: “We believe our new DURO SX 35 sound dampening roofing system is something to shout about. We are confident it will make a noise with the farming community but all will be quiet in the cattle shed.”
